DailyTekk: The First 6 Months

-->

Wow, this has been quite a ride so far. DailyTekk started as a way to share cool “tech finds” with coworkers and has grown dramatically over 6 months and we’ve already hit some pretty big milestones. Old school media has shown us some love; we’ve been linked to by The New York Times and The Guardian (UK). We’ve also been tweeted about by Internet celebs like Guy Kawasaki (of Alltop) and Craig Newmark (of Craigslist). Even New Orleans Saints defensive back Malcolm Jenkins couldn’t resist giving us a shout-out on Twitter.

We’ve enjoyed a 3 month partnership with SAY Media (home to ReadWriteWeb, gdgt, Techdirt, Android and Me and Gear Patrol among other sites) as a tech network member and are excited to begin a deeper relationship as an exclusive and featured tech property. SAY’s tech network reaches over 50 million digital influencers! It’s great to see quality ads on the site from top brands like BMW and Porsche.

Aside from SAY Media, we’ve also cultivated a number of other interesting partnerships. We’ve held 8 giveaways working with brands like Rule.fm and Less Code. CustomerSure provided us with free access to their customer service platform. Soshi Games created a branded DailyTekk stage in their Music Festivals Facebook game. xAd contributes a weekly mobile roundup column and New-Startups has been featuring select content in their network.
